What it is
A CT scan of the head uses X-rays and a computer to make detailed cross-section pictures of the brain and skull. It is often used after a head injury, for sudden severe headache, or to look for bleeding or stroke. No contrast dye is used.
What the price covers
The hospital price usually covers the scan (the technical part). The radiologist's reading of the images is often billed separately as the professional component.
